Is Aaron Rodgers GROSSLY overrated?
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...ck-experiment/
I watched the entire GB/Det game and I must say...Rodgers has not gotten better at getting rid of the ball. He's got a lot of Alex Smith in him in that regard. He takes a TON of unnecessary sacks. It's bothersome. He also missed a wide open Jordy Nelson when trying to come back on 4th and 5 with a terrible pass 3 yards behind him in a clean pocket... He's had 1 good playoff run. So has Joe Flacco. Why does everyone think he's the best QB in the NFL? I think he's top 5, certainly. But I also don't understand how Tony Romo is a choker, but Aaron Rodgers is not? I have been grossly unimpressed with Rodgers this year...and in all honesty, the last few postseasons...super meh. I've said this for a few years now, but...I'd take Russell Wilson over Aaron Rodgers and at this point, I don't even think it's close. Also, Rodgers is nowhere near Peyton Manning (obvi) or IN HIS PRIME Tom Brady, let's be honest. |

Aaron Rodgers is the best Quarterback in football. Put him on the Seahawks and watch what would happen.
You sound like casual fans do, giving the QB too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses. An elite QB can put the team on his back and make a difference turning some losses to wins. He can't turn water into wine. I thought you knew the difference. |

Well he is the one who said he would take Wilson over Rodgers, not me.

Bad running game and worse defense. Green Bay has the 28th ranked scoring defense in the NFL and are dead last at stopping the run. http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/team...fense-category Maybe Rodgers should play nose guard since that is where the problem lies. |

The only knock I have on Brees, and his ability compared to Rodgers/Manning/Brady are that he is pretty crappy on the road. His home numbers vs. his road numbers are pretty telling. I do think the dome has helped him tremendously. |

Lmao
I said Rodgers was overrated before the season started. I actually watch the games... He's really good...but I'd take Russell Wilson every time |

I can agree with that. I think Russell Wilson is a top 5 qb right now.

Rodgers amazes people [me included] with insanely accurate passes. This blinds people a bit to the metrics of his decision making and pressure performance.
Now if someone could do a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup commercial with Rodgers and Smith, you'd have another Montana. You put your passing ability in my game management!!

I sort of go back and forth on Wilson. He's a lot like Joe Montana. Meaning he's sneaky good. His stats don't blow you our of the water but his intangibles are off the charts. Rarely makes a bad play.

that GB team is putrid, and Dorsey comes from that tree like a fraud no different than Pioli with the Pats
Rodgers props up a really really bad roster, just like Brady does. |
